Safety at Play

MASKS REQUIRED

Face masks must be worn over the nose and mouth by all guests ages 2 and older while in the museum.

MAINTAINING SAFE SOCIAL DISTANCING

In accordance with the recommendations by public health officials, we will open at a reduced capacity of about 50% to allow for proper social distancing.
Timed entry tickets will ensure a consistent flow for visitors and allow for ample amounts of personal space.

BEST PRACTICES

Restrooms, lobby, operating trolleys, gift shop & craft tables are disinfected frequently throughout the day.
Sanitizers are being provided for guests to use and are scattered throughout the Museum.
Employees must wear face masks and may not report to work if they are sick. If you or anyone in your party is not feeling healthy, please stay at home.

Thanks to I.B.E.W. LOCAL 42 for the donation of 20 poles to start repairs along our right of way. This work is long overdue and we are so GRATEFUL for their support.
